pre order snow leopard

2009-08-01 Thread Chris G

Hi,

I woke up this morning and received an email from amazon.com giving me
the offer to pre order the upgrade to snow leopard for $29.00.  I have
made the purchase.  Now we wait for September.

Re: nano headphones

2009-08-01 Thread Kieren

They are apple branded so you can get replacements that are exactly
the same from any apple store.
That said depending on your taste in music I find most "ear bud" style
headphones to be lacking in any sort of real response as well as
making
my ears sore :(

I much prefer in ear style ones which do admittedly block out about
50% of external noise unless its really loud.
So depending on the amount of VI you have this may or may not suit
you.
I can Heartily recommend the Sennheiser CX 300 which I have have for a
couple of years now and still sound great and are modestly priced as
well..

I had thought about doing that, but wasn't sure if I could get it  
faster by just going to the apple store once it's released.

Re: stopping an MP3 file on the Web from playing

2009-08-01 Thread Esther

Hi Anna,

I notice that your question on how to stop an MP3 file on the Web from  
playing has gone unanswered.  Cara Quinn posted a solution to this  
that is in the list archives, and you can find a copy of her  
instructions written up as a guide at the lioncourt.com site:

http://www.lioncourt.com/guides-tutorials/keyboard-control-of-streaming-content-in-safari/
(Keyboard control of streaming media in Safari)

Very briefly, although QuickTime is playing and there appears to be  
nothing that VoiceOver announces, you can still get control of some  
functions if you interact with the HTML area (VO-Shift-Down Arrow) and  
then route your mouse cursor to your VoiceOver cursor (VO-Command-F5)  
in the event that your navigation options in the VoiceOver utility are  
not set to have "Mouse cursor follows VoiceOver cursor" checked.

Even though you won't hear any results of your interaction, etc.  
you'll be able to get some control of the playback using the same  
controls you use in iTunes: pressing the space bar lets you play and  
pause; Command-Left arrow rewinds; Command-Right Arrow fast forwards.

Take a read through Cara's guide at the link I gave.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Esther

Hello,
That's interesting. I just called Apple and they aren't taking  
preorders at this time. In fact the lady I spoke with said that as far  
as she knew, they would be taking orders on the release date.

Re: pre order snow leopard

2009-08-01 Thread Ryan Mann

I'm not going to bother preordering from Amazon because I found out  
that it actually takes longer to get it when you do that.  When  
Leopard was going to come out, I preordered it from Amazon a few weeks  
before Oct. 30th.  A lot of people on this list got their Leopard  
disks on Oct. 30th.  However, since I ordered from Amazon, I didn't  
get it until about a week later than that.  That was because it was  
shipped to Amazon from Apple then Amazon shipped it to me.  This time,  
I'm just going to order directly from Apple so I don't have that delay.

Hi,

Well, perhaps amazon is building a list of people and it's first come

I do know the order is in my recent orders list. (smile)

Re: nano headphones

I agree with your recomendation but would add that the Shure earplug  
style sound great but I wouldn't walk outside with them as they block  
out almost all external sounds and a hybrid might be coming down the  
street.

I got my Shure set at the Apple store in South Beach where I feel very

Re: the advent of audio/tactile games for the VIPs

2009-08-01 Thread Chris Hofstader
Hi Cara,

Thanks for the kind words.  I never quite know where and when I get a  
bit too esoteric or use too much jargon that will bore people to  
tears.  Sometimes, X-Celerator, my guide dog, will leave the room when  
I'm dictating an original work as I think he understands enough to  
know that almost all people who study language are, as Dr.  Johnson  
wrote in the first true dictionary of the English language, "a  
harmless drudge who toils about words and meanings."

I actually wrote an NSF proposal to study the amount of semantic  
information that flows tactically between a guide dog and his human  
partner.  We got a pretty good score but not good enough to get the  
cash.

Happy Hacking,

Re: nano headphones

2009-08-01 Thread Scott Howell

I actually got a pair of the Schur that I used for band practice when  
I was playing.  The drummer talked everyone into these earphones and  
they were absolutely great, but the drummer lacked the gear and  
technical knowledge to best leverage the concept of playing without  
amps etc. and just going into the board.  WHen it was working, it  
worked great, but all this to agree that going outside for a walk with  
these in your ears would not be advisable and nor would it be a good  
idea for a sighted person. They when fitted correctly can block out  
more than 50% of sound unless pretty loud.  They really are well  
constructed and I actually got the pair I have for $50 from 123 Music  
when they had them on sale.

Chatting with Coloquy?

2009-08-01 Thread Dan Eickmeier

Hi all, I've figured out how to connect to an IRC server with this IRC  
client , but as far as looking at what people are saying, and typing  
messages, I haven't been able to figure this out, any help anyone?  
haven't  been able to figure out where the window is to go to see  
what's going  on on the  server.  THere's a console window, is that  
where all the server activity is?

preorder of snow leopard

2009-08-01 Thread christos hux

I as well today got the amazon preorder email. I went ahead & 
did  
this. Yes from what I have read since placing the order it may take a  
bit longer to get my dvd disk sent to me. However by that time if any  
bugs have been found I will have read on-line about them. I do now  
have a Apple store in my city however to get there I have to do a bus  
route transfer so we are talking about it taking up to 1.5 hour just  
to get to the store on my own via the city bus system.

Adding AIM buddies in iChat

2009-08-01 Thread Jenny Kennedy (Howard)

Hi guys,

Recently started poking around in iChat as my friends all want to know  
if I chat online anymore.
Have used Adium but don't like it.  So now looking at iChat.  I have a  
friend who gave me their AIM s/n so I could add them to my buddy list.
However when I open iChat and go to the budy menu the add budy thing  
is dimmed out. So like what do I do? Am very confused. LOL

Thanks much :-)

Hi
   You should be able to do this from the buddy menu.  Not sure  
why it would be grayed out.  Just make sure you choose the AIM option  
from the popup menu during the process of adding the contact.

This may be a very stupid question, but... was Re: Adding buddies in iChat

2009-08-01 Thread Jenny Kennedy (Howard)

Hi,
Okay in iChat I sign in with my iChat account which is blueskyes9112...@mac.com 
.
This is my account I set up through iChat the other day.

Do I also need an AIM account?  I don't have any iChat buddies or aim  
buddies as I have forgoten my AIM account information. and was under  
the idea that an iChat account would cover all.  I signed in in iChat  
but most of the buddy list menu is dimmed out including th e add a  
buddy option. So I dunno.

Aside from Adium, are there any other MSN-ish clients that work with  
VO and give access to MSN msgr?

Sorry for being so clearly silly about this.  Chat on the mac has been  
something I've not toyed with much.

Hi Jenny, ifyou  want access to MSN, I'd definitely go with Adium,  
that's what  I use, and love it.  WHat didn't you like about it?   
maybe I can help you to get it customised so you will like it?   There  
are all sorts of items  under the  events section of Adium preferences  
that you can set to be spoken, maybe that'll help.

Ichat does not create accounts for you on any chat servers.  If you  
don't have the account, you won't be able to set it up in Ichat.   
There should be a status button near the top of your screen that might  
say "disconnected," or "connected," or whatever.  If it doesn't say  
Connected or Surfing the web or something, then you can't add buddies.

Re: Adding buddies in iChat

2009-08-01 Thread Esther

Hi Jenny,

You don't need an AIM account to use iChat.  If you set up an iChat  
account, you entered your password, etc. as part of the set up.  Start  
up iChat.  If the AIM Buddy List window doesn't appear automatically  
(which you can check with the window chooser menu command: VO-F2  
twice), bring up this window with Command-1.  You can also do this by  
navigating to the Window menu on the iChat menu bar (VO-M; press "w";  
arrow down to "AIM Buddy List".  If you hear "Off Line" in the window,  
use Command-L to log on.  You should hear the information that you're  
logging in, then a whooshing sound, and an announcement of "Buddy  
list, table, no selection" as the table of buddies appears. This is  
initially going to be empty, so VO-Right arrow and you'll hear "Add  
Buddy or Group button".  Press the button (VO-Space) and arrow down to  
the menu item for "Add Buddy".  A dialog window will appear prompting  
you to add the account name of your buddy on AIM, MobileMe or  
Mac.com.  Fill in the Account Name in the text field. (Just enter the  
part before the AT in the email address).  VO-Right to the pop up  
button and change it to AIM, MobileMe or Mac.com.  For buddies that  
are on AIM just leave the button on the initial setting.  VO-Right to  
the group pop up button.  You can leave this as "Buddies" or  you can  
VO-Space and change it to "Family" or "Co-Workers" (or other groups  
that you create).  VO-Right arrow to the text fields for "First Name"  
and "Last Name" and fill in the fields in each combo box.  If the  
person you are adding is in your Address Book, you can VO-Right Arrow  
past these combo boxes  to the "Unchecked check box"  that follows the  
last name field and check this (VO-Space).  This brings up your  
address book in the dialog window.  You can continue to VO-Right arrow  
and type part of the name in the search text field to "Select  
Person".  Matches will show up in the table below, and the first and  
last name fields will be filled in from the address book selection.  
(If you only type part of a name, the first match in your address book  
will be selected and used to fill in the name fields, which you can  
check by VO-Left arrowing back to these fields.) You can also just VO- 
Right to the table and use your arrow keys to browse and select the  
buddies you want to add. Navigate past the group table (which will be  
set to "All") to the name entries table and interact (VO-Shift Down  
Arrow).   You can arrow down to select any name.  You'll have to fill  
in their AIM or MobileMe account name, at the start of the dialog  
window, though. Stop interacting and VO-Right Arrow past the "Cancel"  
button to the "Add" button and press (VO-Space) after you have  
reviewed the information to close the dialog window and return to the  
buddy list.

HTH

Cheers,

Esther

mobile me, idisc on the web

2009-08-01 Thread Marie Howarth

I have a trial of mobile me and I am thinking of paying the 59 pounds  
per year to keep it after my trial runs out. I'm curious if anyone has  
used the idisc feature and if they've successfully managed to see  
their uploaded files on the web. this would help me distribute files  
to friends, such as huge documents so i was really hoping this would  
work. anyone managed to get it working and how well with voice over?
I know mobile me isn't perfect with voice over at the min, but it is a  
good product in my opinion.
thanks

Re: This may be a very stupid question, but... was Re: Adding buddies in iChat

2009-08-01 Thread Jenny Kennedy (Howard)

Hi Dan,
Sure I could use any help in setting up Adium.
Okay for one thing I couldn't figure out how to jump back and forth to  
read the last line of a convo.  Then to reply like I could with JAWS  
and MSN messenger.  Secondly it seemed like any ongoing convos, say  
for example a friend msged me and we chatted for a while and then went  
away.  Well the next time we'd chat it would just get stuck to the end  
of the last chat and by the time I got fed up with the program we had  
some chats going back for ages and ages which made the first problem  
worse.  Wasn't so bad to have to read from a few lines back, very  
draining to go back through days and days of a chat. :-)
Maybe I'm just dumb about the program so if you can help me please do  
so.  Also how to manage things like status and away and all this.  Is  
it one master username that uses all your chat programs as in aim and  
msn ect or do you have to set each status and I forget but are all  
your friends on one big buddylist MSN and AIM all on one big list or  
what? Like I said I got frustrated and just quit chatting.  On the  
windows computer I never toyed much with the multi-messenger programs.  
I just had AIM open and MSN open and that was it. Ok that's all I can  
think of for now. Any help would be very very welcome.
Thank you. :-)

Re: nano headphones

2009-08-01 Thread Kieren

Yes they are the ear canal style ones.

They come with 3 different sizes of rubber grommets to suit different
sizes of ear canals.

Although these are not the biggest (about the width of your little
finger  and length wise a little shorter than the end of your little
finger to the first knuckle)
they do sound great once you get the correct grommet for your ear.

One other thing that should be noted is that because these actually
create an airlock type seal in your ear, if you do need to speak you
feel your voice through the bones in your head rather than hearing at
and that can be weird.
so in essence they are not designed as a headset.

Also as Chris says I probably would not recommend them for out and
about travel unless you have some distance vision.
As an example I dont have to have the music very loud at all when on
the train to block out other voices and the PA announcements of
stations, doors closing etc.

iphone 3gs and bluetooth connection

2009-08-01 Thread Yuma Decaux

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knew how one can get connected to the
internet throguh his/her iphone 3gs. I used to have a sony ericsson
(actually still have it))) 3g with which i connect to the internet.

I've tried going to the network preferences but the iphone doesn't
appear in the services lists as the sony does. Is there another way IE
bluetooth to get the connection going? If so, how do you actually get
the macbook and the iphone to pair up? I went through the connection
wizard but the iphone which i've turned the bluetooth on doesn't
appear in the list either.

Anyone get this too? Or are you all on a cable connection and don't
need to get on the 3g network for your net stuff? i'm using the 3g
here because it's the best method for connecting in
Cambodia///grumps...
